September 6, 2015What is God Doing?
September 5, 2015Do you ever wonder what God is doing in your life? Tom and Carolyn decided to go on a 2 day short trip to visit friends about 90 miles away from their home.They left about 12:30 PM and expected to be at their destination at about 3 PM. Driving on one of Florida’s toll roads a driver in front of them was driving about 55 in a 70 mile per hour speed zone. Making sure it was safe to pass Tom pulled out and a large metal pipe was right in front of him. Couldn’t turn to the left or the right as there were cars on both sides. So he tried to avoid it by straddling it in the center, but it flew up and hit the oil line or oil pan and soon the engine was smoking. Thankfully, the next toll booth was less than 2 miles away. Tom pulled into the employees parking lot after paying the toll and came to a stop. All the oil was drained out.
One of the employees called for help but 8 hours later Tom and Carolyn still were waiting for that Road Warrior to come.
Tom does have health issues and this was the first time in 18 months that he was well enough to attempt even a short trip. Finally, their son in law, Rick, came to the rescue another 2 hours later with a tow dolly to get the car and Tom and Carolyn home. Hopefully ths car can be repaired.
11:15 PM Safe at home. Counting their blessings. Many worst things could have have happened. They could have hit another car, the pipe could have ruptured the gas tank and caused explosion, or Tom could have had a heart attack from the trama of the stress, but God in His loving care protected them from serious consequences.
What was the purpose of this adventure?
Only God knows and that is where trusting the Lord in all circumstances comes into your life. All things do work together for good, but we may not see it for many days, weeks, months or years to come.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Senior Servants
September 4, 2015The SOS Senior Servants met yesterday for the first time since June. It was a great joy to renew our fellowship with these dear ladies. In just two and one half hours they got over 2500 newsletters ready for mailing, then enjoyed food and fellowship.
These faithful Servants need prayer as many have illnesses, two have children with cancer and one has become a widow in the last month. Please join in prayer for them.
1 John 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
God Meant It For Good
September 2, 2015Exodus 50:20 But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.
The story of Joseph recorded in the Bible is a great example of how God turns what seems like terrible trouble into something good. Joseph was thrown into a pit by his brothers and left for dead, falsely accused of a crime and thrown into prison, but God used his circumstances to save the nation of Israel from extinction.
Bad things happen to good people, but God uses difficult situations to bring about good to His children. Maybe it’s the loss of a job and you feel that you’ll never find anything better, but God then gives you the opportunity you have always wanted. Your house is foreclosed on and you have to move, then God gives you a home that far surpasses the one you lost. Someone you love dearly dies through tragic circumstances and God uses your loved ones death to bring you to salvation.
These examples are true testimonies of people that we know who are now serving the Lord with gladness. If you are going through a difficult time in your life right now, trust the Lord to take that situation and turn it around for good. Do not get discouraged, these things do not happen overnight but sometimes it takes months or even years to be fulfilled.
Jesus Loves Me
September 1, 2015Last evening Tom Curtis received a phone call from a Christian friend who is facing some very serious life threatening health problems. This friend became very fearful and almost was in the state of panic. Our friend lives 800 miles away in a different state.
Tom talked to him, prayed with him, and read some scripture to him. Finally,Tom and Carolyn started to sing “Jesus loves me this I know.”
That little children’s song calmed the heart of our Christian friend. He was able to drive to a friends home so he would not be alone. Tom stayed on the phone with him until we were sure he had gotten to a safe place.
Jesus loves me! This I know,
For the Bible tells me so;
Little ones to Him belong;
They are weak, but He is strong.
Refrain:
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me! This I know,
As He loved so long ago,
Taking children on His knee,
Saying, “Let them come to Me.”
Jesus loves me still today,
Walking with me on my way,
Wanting as a friend to give
Light and love to all who live.
Jesus loves me! He who died
Heaven’s gate to open wide;
He will wash away my sin,
Let His little child come in.
Jesus loves me! He will stay
Close beside me all the way;
Thou hast bled and died for me,
I will henceforth live for Thee.
Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
17 Decisions
August 31, 2015Things were a little slower at the flea markets this week. In Florida the children are back in school so attendance of teens and kids are not present at the Wednesday Market but God blessed with Seventeen decisions. He blesses SOS Events faithful workers.
Matthew 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Jesus Is God
August 30, 2015There is only one God, forever existent in three persons: Father, Son and the Holy Spirit.
The deity of our LORD Jesus Christ; His virgin birth; His sinless life; His miracles; His atoning death; His shed blood: His bodily resurrection; His ascension into Heaven and His personal return.
John 14:7 & 9 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Gifts Fom Our Father
August 29, 2015Praying is work. Have you ever been praying and your mind will wander to a different subject? Or not been able to get to sleep and decided to pray and in just a little while you have fallen asleep?
Prayer is the one weapon the that Satan does not want you to use. Prayer will give you answers to problems or decisions that you are unsure about. God delights in hearing from His children.
The most wonderful thing is that He is interested in the smallest things in our lives and He loves to have us ask for them. Need a parking place or want to have someone call you that you haven’t heard from in awhile? Then there it is.. the parking place right in front of the building. The phone rings and the person who you wanted to talk to is calling. Coincidence some people say. No, answer to prayer from a loving Father who loves His children, and likes to give good things to them.
Matthew 7:11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
